Investment in America Forum

Each year, The Conference Board, the U.S. Army and the Leader to Leader Institute invite 30 high-ranking representatives from the corporate, military and social sectors to gather at West Point for two days of frank, informative and confidential exchanges on major issues of the day.

Leaders from all three sectors face challenges and voice concerns that are not only similar, they are often identical. The Investment in America Forum (IAF) allows them to trade ideas and form invaluable partnerships that better equip them – as professionals and as private citizens – to make a difference back at work and in the world.

Attendance is by invitation only and the IAF is closed to outsider observers; however, summary reports from each forum are available to the public.

The Investment in America Forum 2009 will take place November 12- 13, 2009. Participants can access the program and pre-reads via the following links:
